Lakeshores on Brink of Elimination
The Barrie Examiner
Thursday, August 09, 2007 @ 07:00
The Barrie Lakeshores find themselves on the brink of
elimination after a 10-8 loss to the Brampton Excelsiors in Major Series
Lacrosse action last night in Brampton.
The Excelsiors, who now lead the best-of-seven semifinal 3-0, can wrap up the
series tomorrow night in Brampton.
Last night's loss was a bitter pill to swallow for the Lakeshores. For the
third time in the series, Barrie held a lead heading into the third period and
couldn't hang on.
The Lakeshores led 5-2 heading into the final frame, but the Excelsiors scored
on the first shift and would eventually jump out to an 8-6 lead. Barrie
battled back to even the game at 8-8, but Jon Harasym scored the game winner -
his second marker of the game - with just 1:02 remaining and an empty net goal
sealed the deal just seconds later.
Brodie Merrill led the Brampton attack with three goals, while Blaine Manning
added a pair. Josh Sanderson, Cam Woods and Jeff Shatler had singles.
Luke Wiles and Nathan Sanderson paced the Barrie attack with a pair of markers
each, while Mark Steenhuis had four assists.
Chad Culp, Sean Greenhalgh, Bryan Kazarian and Anthony Lackey scored once
each.
Rob Blasdell kicked aside 42 of 51 shots in goal for Barrie, while Anthony
Cosmo made 34 saves for Brampton.
Game time Friday night in Brampton is 8 p.m.

Lakeshores Find Themselves Down 2-0
Author: Don MacNeil:
BARRIE ADVANCE
Date: Aug 07, 2007
The Barrie Lakeshores swept their Major Series Lacrosse regular-season series with the Brampton Excelsiors. But, as the saying goes, that and a buck and a half will get you a cup of coffee, as the Lakeshores lost the first two games of their semifinal series with the Brampton Excelsiors over the Simcoe Day long weekend.
After a two-week layoff due to a bye earned by their second-place finish in the regular-season standings, the Lakeshores showed some ‘rink rust’ in a 7-6 Game 1 loss to the Excelsiors Friday night at the Barrie Molson Centre.
Despite outshooting Brampton 55-40 and having a two-goal third period lead, the Lakeshores gave up the winning goal with 32.5 seconds left in the third giving the Excelsiors a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Going 0-7 with the man advantage didn’t help the Lakeshores, either.
Chad Culp led the Lakeshores’ attack with two goals, two assists. Luke Wiles added a goal and a pair of helpers. Sean Greenhalgh, Matt Holman and Bryan Kazarian also scored for Barrie.
The Lakeshores trailed 2-1 after one period and 4-2 after two, but seemed to come to life with four straight goals to start the third. That is when the Excelsiors picked themselves off the BMC turf, dusted themselves off, and scored the next three goals for the come-from-behind win Dan Teat and Jeff Shatler scored a pair each for Brampton, with Mike Kirk, Aaron Wilson and Blaine Manning netting singles.
Game two Sunday night didn’t go much better for Barrie.
Ahead by two goals midway through the second, the Excelsiors scored four straight to win 7-5 and go up 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.
Lakeshores Head Coach Lindsay Sanderson didn’t hide his disappointment after Sunday’s game. “We wanted to finish up in the top two so we could get that home floor advantage and we’ve pissed that away,” he said, adding “Both game were both winnable by us, we had leads in both games which we gave up.”
Mark Steenhuis led the way for Barrie with a hat trick and an assist. Luke Wiles and Nathan Sanderson also scored for the Lakeshores who got off to fast start but fizzled.
“We scored four goals in the first period and we get one in the last 40 minutes,” said a dissatisfied but not disheartened Sanderson. “You’re not going to win anything with that output.”
Teat scored a pair for Brampton, with Shatler, Josh Sanderson, Pat McCready, Mike Hominuck and Brodie Merrill adding singles.
The power play once again was a weak spot for the Lakeshores who went 1-7 in Game two with the man advantage and are now 1-14 on the power play for the series. They actually ran a goal deficit in game two being outscored 2-1 by Brampton with the Excelsiors occupying the penalty box.
Sanderson shook his head in his post-game interview when describing his team’s power-play performance saying simply, “we lost our man on a couple and it ended up in our net.”
The coach, looking for a silver lining to a dark playoff cloud summed up the weekend saying “we’ve lost both games but we have been right in them, right to the last second. We’ll build on that.”
Game three and four goes Wednesday and Friday nights in Brampton at the Powerade Centre. Game 5 if neccessary will be back in Barrie at the Molson Center Sunday night at 7 PM.

Lakeshores in need of a change; Barrie facing a
must-win tomorrow in Brampton

Barrie Lakeshores captain Glenn Clark gets pulled away from the play during
action Sunday night at the Barrie Molson Centre against the Brampton
Excelsiors. Barrie lost another close game, 7-5, falling two games behind the
Excelsiors in the best-of-seven series.
Getting away from home might be just what the doctor
ordered for the Barrie Lakeshores. After dropping the first two games of their
best-of-seven Major Series lacrosse semifinal playoff series with the Brampton
Exclesiors at the Barrie Molson Centre - including a 7-5 loss Sunday night -
the series switches to the Powerade Centre in Brampton for Game 3 tomorrow
night.
Right about now, anything would be a pleasant change for Barrie head coach
Lindsay Sanderson.
"That's why we wanted to finish in the top two, to get that
home-floor advantage, and now we've pissed it away," he said after Sunday's
loss. "Both games were winnable. We had leads, which we gave up, so,
obviously, we have to get better at that. You don't want to go down 3-0 to
this Brampton club. They're a very well-groomed lacrosse team. They've got a
lot of veteran guys who have been in the hot spot before. They're playing a
very solid 60 minutes."
Falling behind 3-0 in the series is not something Barrie attacker Sean
Greenhalgh wants to think about. Not many teams have been able to battle back
from three-game deficits, and Greenhalgh doesn't want to have to prove the
Lakeshores are capable of doing it.
"To be honest with you, it's a game like any other game. We can't win four
games on Wednesday," Greenhalgh said. "Is it a big game? Yes. But every game
right now is the biggest game of the year. We have to handle every game like
it's the most important, and, if we do that, I think we'll be OK."
It's not as though the Lakeshores have been outplayed in the series. A couple
of bad bounces here, a costly turnover there and it has ended up in the back
of their net on more than one occasion. There is still plenty of optimism
surrounding the club.
"We're just not shooting in the right places right now," Greenhalgh said. "The
defence is working hard, it's just offensively we have to do a better job. We
have to get a couple more goals and hitting our spots when we're taking shots.
We have to find a way to start putting the ball in the back of the net."
If there is one thing the Lakeshores can build upon it's that they won both
games at the Powerade Centre during the regular season.
Greenhalgh said they have plenty of confidence about going into that building
and stealing a pair of games just as the Excelsiors did to them in the first
two.
"It's great to go play in Brampton and know we won both of our games down
there," he said. "Playoffs are different, though. We have to go in and play as
hard as we can to get that win."
One thing Barrie needs to start doing if it wants to change its fortunes is
take better advantage of its opportunities on the power play.
Through the first two games, the Lakeshores have scored just one goal in 14
opportunities with the man-advantage, and given up four short-handed goals.
"I'm very disappointed with the power play," Sanderson said. "We had two
short-handed goals scored on us (Sunday). One with the two-man advantage and
the one in the third that tied things up and got Brampton running.
"All you can do is keep working things out, shooting the ball, and, hopefully,
it starts going in."
The ball was going in for Mark Steenhuis on Sunday. He scored three times,
while Nathan Sanderson and Luke Wiles had the others.
Brodie Merrill had a pair, including the game winner, while Josh Sanderson,
Pat McCready, Jeff Shatler, Mike Hominuck and Dan Teat added singles for
Brampton.
"The key thing is that we've lost both games, but we've been right in them
until the last second," Sanderson said. "We will build on that. Every game in
this series is going to go down to the last second, and, hopefully, we'll be
on top at the end of the next one." Game time is 8 p.m.

Lakeshores Drop Game One 7 to 6
August 4, 2007
The Barrie Lakeshores knew that the two week lay off was a good thing as it related to allowing their players to rest and heal from injuries. They also knew that it would take some time to get back to game form against the Brampton Excelsiors who were fresh off their first round win against the Kitchener Kodiaks in Major Series Lacrosse opening round play off action.
The Lakeshores throughout the contest had difficulty finding the net as many of their shots missed or found the post against Brampton's oversized goalie Anthony Cosmo.
The first period ended with the visiting Excelsiors up 2 to 1 as the over 800 fans in attendance settled in for this closely contested match. Characteristic throughout the period and for that matter the game was the Exclesiors desire to constantly draw the Lakeshores into after whistle scrums resulting in a number of penalties that benefited the boy's from Brampton more than the Barrie squad.
The second period ended 4 to 2 for Brampton leading to a scoring burst by the Lakeshores in the opening two minutes of the third period when the short handed Lakeshores scored 4 goals in just over two minutes to take a 6 to 4 lead.
With less than a minute to go Excesior forward Blaine Manning caught a Lakeshore defender napping beating him to the net resulting in the winning goal for Brampton.
A complete game summary is available at www.majorserieslacrosse.net
Game two returns to the air conditioned Barrie Molson Center tomorrow night (Sunday August 5th). Game time is 7 PM.

Lakeshores lack power; Barrie falls
7-6 in playoff opener
The Barrie Examiner
Dan Charuk
Saturday, August 04, 2007 @ 07:00
The Barrie Lakeshores power play failed to score and allowed a pair of
short-handed goals which ended up being the difference in a 7-6 loss to the
Brampton Excelsiors last night at the Barrie Molson Centre.
Brampton leads the best-of-seven Major Series lacrosse semifinal 1-0.
Barrie went 0-for-7 with the man advantage and head coach Lindsay Sanderson
said that ultimately cost them the game.
"Our power play was just not good tonight," he said. "With the two weeks off
we were a little rusty, and at the end of the night it was the main reason why
we lost."
Chad Culp scored twice and had two assists for the Lakeshores, who led 6-4 in
the third period. Luke Wiles had a goal and two assists, Sean Greenhalgh and
Bryan Kazarian had a goal and an assist each, and Matt Holman added the other.
Dan Teat and Jeff Shagler scored twice each for Brampton. Mike Kirk, Aaron
Wilson and Blane Manning, with 32 seconds left, netted the winner.
Barrie outshot the Excelsiors 55-40.
"No one had a real good game for us," Sanderson said. "It was a pretty
ordinary night."
Game 2 of the series is Sunday night at the Barrie Molson Centre.
Sanderson expects a better effort than his team showed last night.
"We'll play through it," he said. "We got all the kinks out, so we'll do
better on Sunday."
Game time is 7 p.m.

Lakeshores ready for tough battle;
Barrie hosts Brampton for Game 1 tonight
The Barrie Examiner
Dan Charuk
Friday, August 03, 2007 @ 07:00
The Barrie Lakeshores are rested and itching to get going.
After getting a first-round bye in the Major Series lacrosse playoffs, the
Lakeshores will hit the floor for the first time in 13 days when they square
off against the Brampton Excelsiors in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series
tonight at the Barrie Molson Centre.
It's the first time in the Lakeshores' three-year history
they have earned a bye through the first round, and head coach Lindsay
Sanderson said it was much needed. There were a few bumps and bruises that
needed some time to heal and now they are eager to get back on the floor.
"We wanted to get one of the first two spots so we could get a bit of a
break," Sanderson said. "No one goes through a season without picking up a few
injuries. We definitely needed the rest. We had a practice on Tuesday night,
though, and the guys looked ready to go." Brampton is coming off a three-game
sweep of the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks in the first round and finished just a
point behind the Lakeshores in the regular season standings.
Barrie won all three of the head-to-head matchups during the regular season,
including two in Brampton, but that gets thrown out the window now.
"We've had some success against them to this point, and I hope we can continue
that," Sanderson said. "Playoffs are a different story, though, and they're
going to want to erase what we did to them. I think it's going to be a
competitive and entertaining series."
Since joining the MSL, the Lakeshores have yet to advance past the second
round. They lost in six games to Brampton in 2005 and Peterborough last
season.
With those past failures in mind, general manager Mike Kloepfer made some
significant additions to this year's club, which Sanderson believes can
finally get them over the hump.
"I think that we have more weapons than we did in the past," Sanderson said.
"That's been a big reason for our success so far. If a team shuts down one of
our guys, someone else has been there to put the ball in the net."
Mark Steenhuis has been the catalyst for the Barrie offence this season, along
with Chad Culp and Luke Wiles. Sean Greenhalgh, Nathan Sanderson and Matt
Holman have also been consistent contributors night in and night out.
Barrie will need continued production if they are to keep up with the
run-and-gun Excelsiors. With veteran Josh Sanderson leading the way, Brampton
has been one of the most explosive teams offensively this season.
It will be up to goaltender Rob Blasdell and the Lakeshores' defence to keep
Brampton in check and allow the offence to take care of itself.
"We have to have all-star goaltending," Sanderson said. "Rob's been doing that
all season. He's had a real strong summer. We've also brought in Chris
Driscoll to go along with Glenn Clark, Bryan Kazarian and Brad MacArthur for
some extra experience."
Nothing would go farther for the Lakeshores' confidence than getting off to a
quick start to the series. With two games at home, Sanderson feels it's a
great opportunity to get in the driver's seat early.
"We definitely want to hold on to home floor," he said. "We might be a little
rusty at first because of the time off, but we'll get that out of our system
within the first period and we'll be fine. I like our team. It should be a
good series."
Game time is 8 p.m.

Lakeshores Finish In Second Place As MSL Regular Season Ends
Sunday, July 22, 2007
The Barrie Lakeshores MSL Lacrosse Club entered this final weekend of MSL regular season with first, second and third place in the MSL still to be determined.
The Lakeshores made the trek to Akwesasne (close to Cornwall) last night to take on the St. Regis Indians with the opportunity to gain two points that would put them in first. Unfortunately their effort fell short resulting in a closely contested 9 to 8 loss. This loss put the Barrie squad in a position to wait for the results of tonight's Peterborough/Brampton game that would determine the final standings. With Peterborough coming away with a 10 to 8 win earlier this evening in Brampton the Lakers finish in first place with 27 points, the Lakeshores in second with 24 points and the Brampton Excelsiors in third with 23 points.
This gives the third year Lakeshores their best record and finish to date at 12 wins and 6 losses along with second place in the hotly contested MSL. Finishing second also gives the Lakeshores a bye from first round competition and allows them to prepare for the MSL Semi-Final.

Peterborough defeats Lakeshores 13-8
Barrie Advance
Date:
Jul 20, 2007
The Barrie Lakeshores had a pretty good first period in their important road matchup with the Peterborough Lakers Thursday night.
After falling behind 3-0, Barrie stormed back with six straight goals, ending the frame up 6-5.
Then, the team managed only two more goals over the remaining two periods in losing 13-8 in their second-last game of the regular season.
The loss was crucial for Barrie as it knocked the Lakeshores into second place in the Major Lacrosse Series standings, a point behind the Lakers, and just one up on third-place Brampton. Both Peterborough and the Excelsiors have a game in hand on Barrie.
In order to secure first place, the Lakeshores have to win Saturday night against the St. Regis Indians, and hope Peterborough loses both its remaining games, and Brampton loses at least one of two.
In the game Thursday night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre, Luke Wiles had two goals and two assists to lead the Barrie attack. Mark Steenhuis had three goals, while Chad Culp had a goal and two assists.
Rob Taylor also scored, and added one helper, while Darren Halls scored the other Barrie goal.

Lakeshores hold home court; Win over
Brampton big step in locking up first-round playoff bye
IAN SHANTZ
The Barrie Examiner
Monday, July 16, 2007 @ 07:00
With a week remaining in the Major Series lacrosse regular season,
and four teams in a tight battle for playoff positioning, the Barrie
Lakeshores know every win or loss from here on out has major implications.
They took a step in the right direction last night with a gutsy 10-6 win over
the Brampton Excelsiors at the Barrie Molson Centre.
In their final home game of the regular season, the Lakeshores completed the
season sweep against Brampton and vaulted past Peterborough into first place.
However, Peterborough has three games remaining compared to Barrie's two, and
sit just one point back of the Lakeshores.
The teams meet in Peterborough Thursday night.
"We like to take it one game at a time, but, obviously, with only two games
left in the season, we're looking for that first spot," Lakeshores' head coach
Lindsay Sanderson said following last night's win. "We'll have to get ready
for Peterborough."
With four teams still mathematically capable of claiming first place, and none
of those teams in a position to clinch the No. 1 or No. 2 positions just yet,
there's still plenty at stake before playoffs get underway.
The top two teams earn a bye past the opening playoff round, and the
Lakeshores are well aware of that.
"A rest would be good," said Chad Culp, who wasn't taking a rest in last
night's game, scoring four times and setting up on two others to lead his team
in scoring. "You do take a beating out there and we have quite a few guys with
injuries, so, if we can get them rested up, it will help us in the long run.
"So, that's our goal, to get first place. We're confident about it." Along
with Culp, the Lakeshores relied on Sean Greenhalgh's three goals and markers
from Rob Taylor, Nathan Sanderson and Mark Steehhuis.
Rob Blasdell made 42 saves in net, and was particularly sharp in the opening
two periods, during which Barrie was outshot, 35-20.
Defender Anthony Lackey had a team-best seven steals in the game.
Following Thursday's game in Peterborough and a road game Saturday against St.
Regis, Barrie's playoff picture should look a little clearer, but, until then,
Sanderson expects his team to put it all on the line.
"We answered the bell every time (tonight). I hope we can keep it going," he
said. "We knew that opportunity was there and we took advantage of it.
"We took the first of the set, so now we have to move on."

Barrie Lakeshores player Mark Steenhuis dekes around Brampton's Steve Penny of the Brampton Exclesiors during Sunday’s 10-6 win at the Barrie Molson Centre. It was the Lakeshores last home game of the regular season, and propelled the team into first place in the Major Series Lacrosse overall standings.
A seven-point game by Chad Culp helped propel the Barrie Lakeshores to an important 10-6 win over the Brampton Excelsiors in Major Series Lacrosse action, Sunday night at the Barrie Molson Centre.
The win gave Barrie a record of 12-4 for 24 points, one up on Peterborough, and three ahead of third-place Brampton in the standings.
Barrie has only two games left in the regular season, while both Peterborough and Brampton have three, meaning the regular season title, and home-arena advantage throughout the playoffs, will come down the final spate of games this coming weekend.
Culp scored two of his four goals in the first frame, a period that saw Barrie emerge with a tight 3-2 lead. Sean Greenhalgh opened the scoring for Barrie, whole Josh Sanderson and Sean Holmes replied for the visitors.
The score was also 3-2 for the Lakeshores in the second period, with Culp getting his third goal of the game, and Greenhalgh his second. Nathan Sanderson also tallied in the period, while Josh Sanderson scored his second of the match for Brampton and John Harasym also scored.
Culp, Greenhalgh, Rob Taylor and Mark Steenhuis scored for Barrie in the third period to secure the victory. Harasym scored twice in reply for Brampton.
Culp had three assists to go with his four goals, while Steenhuis and Luke Wiles both had five assists for the Lakeshores.
Brampton scored the only power-play marker of the game.
The Lakeshores regular-season schedule concludes on the road with a game against the Peterborough Lakers on Thursday, July 19, and two nights later against the St. Regis Indians.
The Barrie Lakeshores MSL Lacrosse Club defeated the Brampton Excelsiors 10 to 6 tonight at the BMC to re-take first place in the MSL.
The Lakeshores will finish the regular season on the
road in Peterborough Thursday and Saturday in St. Regis.

An offensive outburst in the third period propelled the Barrie Lakeshores to an 11-7 win over the St. Regis Indians in a Major Series Lacrosse game played Sunday afternoon at the Barrie Molson Centre.
At one point in the final frame, Barrie was trailing 6-5 and then scored five unanswered goals to go ahead 10-6. St. Regis got one goal back with 3:20 left in the period, but less than a minute later Nathan Sanderson scored his second of the game for the Lakeshores to make it a 11-7 final.
The teams were tied 2-2 after one period as Mark Steenhuis and Matt Holman scored for Barrie. Brett Bucktooth and Kyle Schmelze replied for the visitors.
Bucktooth and John Tavares then scored for St. Regis to make it 4-2 halfway through the second period, before Steenhuis and Jeff Gilbert knotted the game at 4-4, Gilbert’s goal coming with only 44 seconds left on the clock.
Besides two goals each from Sanderson and Chad Culp in the third, Barrie also got tallies from Brad McArthur, Ryan Gallagher and Anthony Lackey.
Brandon Francis, Kevin Dostie and Nick Trudeau scored for the Indians.
With the win, Barrie’s record improved to 9-4, one point back of the Brampton Excelsiors for second place overall in the MLS standings, and three points behind first place Peterborough.
Wednesday, the Lakeshores play a road game against the Brooklin Redmen, followed by the team’s final home game of the campaign, Sunday, July 15, at 7 p.m., against the Excelsiors.

The Barrie Lakeshores, missing seven regulars from the lineup, rallied to beat the St. Regis Indians 11-7 yesterday afternoon in Major Series Lacrosse action at the Barrie Molson Centre.
Missing the likes of Glenn Clark, Chad Thompson, Kevin Fines and Chris Driscoll for various reasons, the Lakeshores (10-4), down 7-6 in the third period, scored five straight times to pull off the win and keep the Indians (7-5-1) behind them in the standings.
The win also moved Barrie into second place in the standings, one point ahead of the Brampton Excelsiors, who the Lakeshores will play host to in a huge game next Sunday night (7 p.m.) at the Barrie Molson Centre.
Without several of their big guns in the lineup yesterday, the Lakeshores got some much-needed offensive help from players known more for their defensive efforts.
Brad MacArthur, Jeff Gilbert, Ryan Gallagher and Anthony Lackie all scored once each.
Mark Steenhuis led the Barrie offence with two goals and five assists, while Nate Sanderson and Chad Culp each scored twice. Mat Holman had the other Lakeshores marker.
Rod Blasdell had his usuall stellar game in goal for Barrie, making 39 saves, while also pitching in with a pair of assists.

A Special Night For Orillia/Rama Players
June 29, 2007
This Saturday will be a special night for a few Orillia and Rama hometown lacrosse players as it will mark a rare appearance for these players on their hometown floor. These players who grew up in Orillia and Rama have spent many years now plying their lacrosse skills in cities all over North America. Winter sees them as part of their National Lacrosse League teams while the summer has them travelling the Major Series Lacrosse League circuit all over Ontario.
This Saturday will be the first time that Rob Blasdell, Luke Wiles, Chad Thompson and Doug Noganosh have played in their hometown since they left Jr. Lacrosse.
With Blasdell the senior member and backbone of the Arizona Stings team that went to the NLL Championship this past May it is a game he has eagerly waited for.
"I have been excited for weeks since I initially found out that we would be playing at the Mask" said Blasdell. "It will be a great night for Luke, Chad Doug and I to play in front of our hometown."
Both Luke Wiles and Chad Thompson were standouts for the Rama Kings Jr. A Lacrosse Club for many years and with their San Jose Stealth and Toronto Rock careers well on the way they are excited to be able to play in this Saturday's game.
For Doug Noganosh fresh off his silver medal finish representing the Iroquois Nationals at the World Lacrosse Championships in Halifax in May, this former NLL veteran player won't have much of a drive to the rink as he lives and works in Rama as a police officer for the Mjikaning Police Services.
This game will also feature the Mann Cup Champion Peterborough Lakers who boast a star studded roster with players like John Grant Jr., Tracy Kelusky, Scott Evans and Pat O'Toole.
Game time on Saturday June 30th at the Mask is 7 PM.

Professor Takes Chiefs To School Clark Helps Lakeshores Rally for Victory
The Barrie Examiner
Dan Charuk
Sports - Friday, June 22, 2007
It might be the first days of summer, but the Barrie Lakeshores' professor sure took the Six Nations Chiefs to school.
Barrie captain Glenn Clark, better know as 'the Professor', had a goal, three assists and a pair of takeaways that led to two more quick strikes in his team's 11-10 victory last night over the Chiefs at the Barrie Molson Centre.
"We battled back and showed some tenacity, so, hopefully, we can build on that," Clark said of the come-from-behind win. "You always have mixed emotions about a game like that. We had some mistakes at bad times. There were some mental lapses out there which hurt us."
Clark is just starting to get back into game shape after spending the winter coaching the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League. He admits to not being where he wanted to be to start the season, but is feeling better with each game he plays.
"The first one or two games it took a while to get the timing," Clark said. "But you get into a groove pretty quickly. I've been doing this for a long time, so you bounce back pretty quick."
Barrie head coach Lindsay Sanderson has noticed the improvement in Clark's game since the start of the season, with goals in his last two games, and expects his level of play to increase as he gets more and more playing time.
"The last couple of games, Clark has been one of our best players on the floor," Sanderson said. "He's been scoring a bit more, so it's nice to see he's getting into a groove now, and, hopefully, we can just keep riding it out."
Clark's value extends well beyond his play on the floor, though. He's a veteran presence in the team's dressing room and is really like another coach along with Sanderson behind the Lakeshores' bench.
"He's the full package," Sanderson said. "He's our captain for a reason. He does a lot of things on the floor that settle people down, and does all those little things that you get from playing for such a long time."
Barrie held one-goal leads on five different occasions through the first period-and-a-half, but a three-goal run by the Chiefs midway through the second period gave them a 7-5 lead, and they held a 9-7 advantage after 40 minutes.
It would be the Lakeshores who would get the last laugh, however, as they scored three straight in the third - including the game winner by Luke Wiles - for the come-from-behind victory.
"We got the two points, which we were after, but it was pretty sloppy," Sanderson said. "There were a lot of dropped balls and a lot of missed passes.
"You would have thought it was at the start of the season, but we caught a couple of balls late that made the difference and we took care of business."
Wiles, Chad Thompson, Chad Culp and Sean Greenhalgh all scored twice for the Lakeshores, while Mark Steenhuis and Matt Holman had the others.
Tom Montour, Cody Jacobs and Dean Hill had two each for Six Nations, with singles by Scott Stewart, Delby Powless, Gewas Schindler and Kim Squire.
The two teams will be right back at it Saturday night, as the Chiefs return
to the BMC for a 7 p.m. start.

Former Tornado Captain Moves Up To Lakeshores
Dan Charuk- Barrie Examiner
Sports - Friday, June 08, 2007
Brad Trottier is no stranger to slipping on a Barrie lacrosse jersey.
The 22-year-old native of Innisfil spent the past six seasons, including two as captain, of the Barrie Jr. 'B' Tornado and has now moved up to play with the Barrie Lakeshores of Major Series Lacrosse.
It's a jump that's been a long time coming, but one he's definitely excited about.
"It's a great experience," said the fourth-round pick of the San Jose Stealth in the 2006 National Lacrosse League draft. "I'm still trying to get used to it. It's a step faster, so you have to be thinking quicker and adjust to how other guys are playing. It's been different going from the big dog to the little dog, but it's been alright."
As much as Trottier is enjoying the experience of being a Lakeshore, that's not to say his time with the Tornado wasn't memorable. He won a Founders Cup as a sophomore in 2003, and saw his game grow and mature as he took on more of a leadership role with the squad.
All things he'll never forget about his time playing junior with the Tornado.
"It was good. I started playing right away as soon as Barrie had team," Trottier said. "It was a great experience. Those were some of the best guys I've ever had a chance to play with. I played a lot and won defensive player of the year for my team (in 2003). It was good."
When the Tornado were eliminated from the playoffs last summer, though, he wasn't sure if he'd ever get the chance to play for Barrie again.
He had spent the past two seasons practicing with the Lakeshores, but with the depth in the organization wasn't sure if he'd get the chance to suit up for them.
"I knew I had to earn my spot," Trottier said. "There was one there for the taking, so I just wanted to come out and work hard and show the coaches and management what I could do. Fortunately, I got the call so we'll see how it goes."
So far, it's been going pretty well. Although he sat out last night's 15-12 overtime win over the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks, Trottier has impressed Lakeshores head coach Lindsay Sanderson with his work ethic and energy on the floor.
The more he does those type of things, the more time on the floor Trottier is going to earn.
"He brings a lot of energy and is very strong, but still has tons to learn," Sanderson said. "This is a major step for him coming from Jr. 'B' to Major 'A'. There are a lot of little things he has to get better at, but he works so hard it won't take a lot of time. He's got a really nice upside to him."
For now, Trottier is just happy to get on the floor when he can and absorb all the advice defensive specialists such as Glenn Clark, Bryan Kazarian and Brad MacArthur have been giving him.
Clark has especially been a huge mentor for Trottier.
"Clarkie is a leader through and through," Trottier said. "He's always talking, and when he talks everyone listens. Everyone gets along here and has something to say. Even offensive guys will see you doing something and pull you aside and give you advice.
"Everyone has been great, so it's easy for me to go up to them and ask something."
One of those veterans, Mark Steenhuis, scored three times - including the game winner - last night to lift the Lakeshores past the Kodiaks.
Chad Culp also netted a hat trick, while Sean Greenhalgh, Kevin Fines, Luke Wiles and MacArthur had two goals each. Nate Sanderson also found the back of the net.
Paddy Campbell earned his first victory as a member of the Lakeshores going the distance between the pipes. He made 44 saves.
The next action for the Lakeshores is this Sunday when they're in Brampton to play the Excelsiors. Game time is 7 p.m.

Lakeshores Roll Over St. Regis 16 to 9 In Home
Opener
June 4, 2007
STEENHUIS LEADS THE WAY WITH AN 11 PT. EFFORT
The Barrie Lakeshores were looking forward to seeing how their team would play once they got the key players from their roster on the floor at the same time and last night at the Barrie Molson Center they found out coming away with a 16 to 9 win against the St. Regis Indians.
The first period ended with the Lakeshores ahead 5 to 4 as the teams traded goals throughout the frame.
The Lakeshores started to pull away in the second period coming away with a 10 to 7 lead. Sean Greenhalgh scored a highlight reel marker at 5:21 of the period. The goal saw Greenhalgh intercept a pass faking a an overhand from 15' in front of the net before turning to throw a laser backhand past Indians goaltender Mike Thompson.
The Lakeshores transition game took hold in the third period setting a pace that the St. Regis side had difficulty matching allowing the Lakeshores to outscore St. Regis 6 to 2.
Barrie's next home game is this Thursday at the Barrie Molson Center at 8 PM as they host the Kitchener Waterloo Kodiaks.
Scores For Barrie: Mark Steenhuis 6G-5A, Chad Thompson 3G-2A, Luke Wiles
1G-4A, Glenn Clark 4A- Matt Holman 2G-1A, Doug Noganosh 3A, Nate Sanderson 3A,
Jeff Gilbert 2G, Bryan Kazarian 2A, Chad Culp 1G, Sean Greenhalgh 1G.

Forward adds pop
to Lakeshores; Sean Greenhalgh brings plenty of 'O' to Barrie
Dan
Charuk
Barrie EXAMINER
Saturday, June 02, 2007 - 07:00
Sports - The Barrie Lakeshores will have a
little bit more firepower in their lineup when they take to the floor in their
home opener tomorrow night against the St. Regis Indians.
Offensive standout Sean Greenhalgh, a 24-year-old native of St. Catharines,
will make his debut with the club, and fans can expect him to bring some added
pop to a Barrie attack in need of some goals.
"I'm extremely excited to be coming to Barrie," Greenhalgh said from his home
in St. Catharines. "I was with the team for the first time (on Tuesday) and we
have a great group of guys. I can't wait to get out there. It's been a while
since I played summer lacrosse up here (in Ontario). It's exciting."
Greenhalgh was acquired by the Lakeshores in February 2006 in a five-player
deal with the now defunct St. Catharines Athletics. Greenhalgh, Matt Roik and
Matt Holman came to Barrie in exchange for Mat Marchildon and Phil Montgomery.
Greenhalgh could have played with the Lakeshores last summer, but since he was
living in Philadelphia, decided it would be too difficult to make the trip
north. This summer, he's back home in St. Catharines, and has decided to make
the trek.
"It just never worked out before," he said. "We tried last summer, but things
didn't pan out. I'm finally going to be there this summer. It's exciting to
play on the same team as guys like Mark Steenhuis, Luke Wiles and Glenn Clark.
I'm very fortunate to get this opportunity."
Barrie general manager Mike Kloepfer couldn't be happier to have him join the
club. He hopes Greenhalgh, a left-handed shot, will help get the Lakeshores
over the hump and into the Major Series Lacrosse championship series and to
the Mann Cup.
"With Sean, when you look at his pedigree he's one of the top left-handed
forwards out there," Kloepfer said. "We really felt in the last two years if
we had any weakness it was on the left side of our offence. You need three
strong left-handed forwards that can contribute. To have Sean here and signed
is a great thing.
"It really shores up that void."
Greenhalgh played his junior lacrosse in his hometown, and also spend four
years with the Cornell University lacrosse team, where he was named the 2005
Ivy League Player of the year. He was drafted third overall by the
Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League that same year, and has
spent the past two years with the Wings.
"The combination of hard work and the experience of playing box lacrosse and
at Cornell have helped me out a lot," said Greenhalgh, who was the 2005 NLL
rookie of the year. "I still have a lot to learn, but I was pretty well
prepared with those two backgrounds."
With 57 goals and 141 points in 32 career NLL games, Greenhalgh has
established himself as a consistent offensive presence on the floor, and
Kloepfer thinks he's capable of putting up big numbers this season with
Barrie. That should be welcome news to Lakeshores fans. "That's my game -
playing on the offensive side," Greenhalgh said. "We've got a whole bunch of
guys to work with like Steenhuis, Chad Culp, Wiles and guys whose names I
don't even know yet. I just want to chip in with a couple of points and help
to make us that much better of a team."
Despite all of his accolades, Greenhalgh has yet to play in a playoff game the
last two years since joining the Wings. He's looking to rectify that situation
this summer. Getting to the post season, and doing some damage when he gets
there, are Greenhalgh's main focus.
"It's huge. Playing anywhere and any sport, you know playoffs are a whole
different ball game," he said. "I want to get in there so bad. It's a long
road getting there, but we have to take care of business, and, hopefully,
we'll be playing for a long time. I can't wait for that."
It won't be up to Greenhalgh alone to get Barrie over the hump in the
playoffs. The Lakeshores dealt their 2008 first-round draft pick to the
Brampton Excelsiors in exchange for goaltender Paddy Campbell.
With Roik not able to give a firm commitment to playing lacrosse in Ontario
this summer, Kloepfer felt he had to go out and bring in another top
goaltender to team with starter Rob Blasdell. He believes they have that in
Campbell.
"He's an exceptional team guy," Kloepfer said. "Even when he's not in net he
has found a way to contribute to any team he's played on. He's a ferocious
competitor and one of the toughest guys in the game. He's a beauty and I'm
glad we have him."
Both Campbell and Greenhalgh are expected to be in the lineup for Barrie
against St. Regis on Sunday. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Barrie Molson Centre.

Rock Select MacLeod, Gilbert in Second Round
Toronto Builds for Future with Pair of Ontario Lacrosse Association Picks
NEW YORK - The Toronto Rock selected Orangeville's Mike MacLeod with their first pick (second round, 15th overall) in the 2006 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft.
MacLeod, who played with Rock assistant Matt Sawyer’s Orangeville Junior A Northmen this past summer, had four goals and 30 assists for his squad this past season.
